Green Eggs and Ham

So we have this large bookshelf in our master bedroom that leans against the wall closest to my side of the bed.

When little people in our house awaken ridiculously early, they often plop themselves down in front of the assorted picture books and quietly flip their way through them.

That is if they know what’s best for everybody concerned.;)

Gabby is often one of our earlier risers, and lately when I would peek my head over the edge of the bed, I’d find her intently running her right index finger beneath printed words, attempting to sound them out.

In the wee quiet hours of morning, before the sun had yet fully made an appearance, that little girl took my breath away.

Sitting there all on her own, diligently trying to make sense of the letters, determined to read a book.
